damn damn damn sad today.. watched a few things that nearly make me cry.. first i watched independence days.. a true inspiring movie with many moving parts.. secondly.. this really hit me big time.. "Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44." he was my favorite man to watch on tv.. he is an inspiring man who loved animals a lot.. he can risk his life risking them or filming them for advertising conservatism purposes.. he was always a happy man who puts his life on the line for the animals.. a super loving dad and husband.. i watch his shows for many years.. alway excited to see what he has to offer.. did not mind watching repeated shows of him.. now is all over.. it really hit me hard.. i almost cried.. almost.. for a big guy like me.. crying is hard.. i pay my utmost respect to Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin and send my condolences to his family, wife Terri, daughter Bandi and baby boy Bob.. here a quote that says it all..



"The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," Stainton told reporters in Cairns. "He died doing what he loved best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. He would have said, 'Crocs Rule!'"
